While Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, 57, got the Covid-19 vaccine via a drive through, Arbaaz Khan received the dose at a vaccination centre.

Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and actor-producer Arbaaz Khan on Sunday received their dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. The duo took to social media to share the update. It was, however, unclear if the shot was their first or second.

“Thank you – BMC #covid vaccination drive through – most effective, not crowded, all it took 10 minutes,” the Rang De Basanti director wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of him getting the jab.
